Abstract: The effect of stress frequency on the fatigue crack propagation rate in 99.5 percent pure titanium, which has a strong strain rate dependency in the plastic region, was studied. Fatigue crack ...

Abstract: Fatigue crack growth behavior of explosively-bonded clad steel plates was studied by making fatigue crack growth tests under a constant stress intensity factor range and carrying out a finite ...

Abstract: Fracture tests for the verification of WPS (warm prestressing) effect were carried out by using large flat specimens and big compact specimens with low toughness. In the case of monotonical K ...

Abstract: A crack arrest test was carried out using a toughness gradient steel plate with three layers to study the concept of crack arrest toughness. Four-point bending load with thermal shock was ...

Abstract: Fracture tests for the verification of WPS (warm prestressing) effect were carried out by using large flat specimens with very low toughness. Tensile and bending loads and thermal shock were ...
